All were welcome in the royal club.
Real Madrid have quickly wrapped up the transfer of Turkish prodigy Arda Güler. Incidentally, the 18-year-old is one of the most promising talents in Europe.
And the player was stolen by Barcelona at the last moment. He seemed to have a lot more contacts at the Catalans.
Here are four more players who have canceled the Catalans in favor of Real Madrid. Spoilers: everyone’s careers have been successful.
The legendary rivalry with Leo Messi might not have worked out as the Portuguese almost joined FC Barcelona in 2009 and could have played alongside the Argentine. Man United sent the player to Catalonia but Cristiano had other plans.
Vinicius Junior
The Brazilian himself said he chose Madrid over Barca because he ‘wanted to play for the biggest club in the world’.
Mesut Ozil
The German midfielder received two offers and had to make a decision. In the end, the choice fell on Madrid. José Mourinho, the club’s manager at the time, did an excellent job. It turned out that Güler followed in the footsteps of his idol.
Marco Asensio
Marco has admitted he was close to signing with arch-rivals as a young player. According to the Spaniard, FC Barcelona were very interested in him when he was still playing for Mallorca. But the midfielder ended up at the Bernabeu and won three Champions League titles.
